While we’re at it, I say we should quit letting the Scum fly over the fly-over states. Make the scum go around through their beloved Mexicans or their stupid socialist Canadians.

And make the lazy worthless socialist bastards grow their own damned food, too! Put up check points: No more produce trucks from the Free States into the Communist Pig States. QUIT FEEDING THE UNGRATEFUL LIBERAL IDIOTS!!!!!

As a Californian I need to point out that a huge percentage of the produce consumed in this country are grown here in blue California. We'll grow our own food. You don't use our ports, watch TV or movies, study at our schools (no danger of you attending a school I suspect) and as your ToE-denying, science-shunning culture crumbles you can huddle in your mommy's basement and eat your shotgun.

So... we can get our wheat from Canada. It'll be a little tougher to make good cakes, but the bread will be epic. And we already have Iowa for corn (and arugula), and Florida for tomatoes and citrus, and California for damn near everything else. Oh, and, um, just a thing. Norfolk, VA went blue, as did Connecticut's second congressional district. I think you can figure out what that means without me explaining it to you.

Most of the major population centers save metro Jacksonville went Democratic, and the younger generation of Florida Cuban-Americans identifies far more with other Hispanic-Americans than they do pre-Castro Cuba. The trend is blue, and not even really over the long term; the fiasco Rick Scott turned the last election into isn't going to be quickly forgotten. As it is, Florida's already starting to look like California or New York; figure by 2016 or 2020 the urban and Hispanic votes will wind up dominating rural and suburban whites pretty consistently. (And I'll guess that Arizona will be in 2020 where Florida is now, and Texas not long after that.)

BrianX, you beat me to it. Florida has factually been blue since 92, any other color having been obtained by fear, force, fraud, or favor. But just to take care of the purple angle, no scuppernong grapes or Mysore raspberries, either.

Is it armchair psychology to point out that the vast majority of extremist Teabagger/Freeper types seem to be raging narcissists? They all have such unbelievably inflated opinions of themselves, actually stating with straight faces that they alone are the hard working geniuses sustaining everybody else in the world through the sweat of their brows even as evidence to the contrary rains all over them like volcanic ash.... And don't even get me started on their religious conviction, the part where they think that they are the only ones who will go to Heaven while everybody else burns in Hell.
